Chalet Miyabi

Description

Minutes away from some of the finest skiing in the world, Chalet Miyabi offers uninterrupted stunning views of Mt. Yotei and the Hirafu ski area. The chalet greets guests with a lofty atrium, allowing ample natural light to complement a beautifully adorned Japanese rock garden. Cathedral ceilings elevate the cozy decor, featuring extensive use of timber while showcasing authentic Japanese architecture in style.

Positioned in the lower village area of Hirafu, Miyabi boasts dual entrances, providing access through the garage/dry room or the main entry. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into the genkan (entry room), fully heated with underfloor heating, while a traditional-style rock garden and water feature add an element of grandeur to the entrance.

Ascending an impressive wooden staircase to the upper level, guests find themselves in a hallway that leads to a spacious kitchen, living, and dining area enveloped by floor-to-ceiling glazing. The main ensuite bathroom is a haven of relaxation, complete with a Hinoki timber Japanese bath, providing a heavenly home spa experience at your fingertips.

The second level also grants access to two balconies, allowing guests to enjoy the breathtaking views. The kitchen features a generous island bench with individual lighting, a sink, stainless steel covered bench-top housing a gas-burning cooktop, overhead cabinets, and window-side seating for three.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area features a table with seating for eight, directly accessible from both the kitchen and lounge area. The lounge boasts a sizeable fabric-covered lounge on three sides, a gas fireplace with a stone surround, and floor-to-ceiling glazing that floods the space with natural light. A second fireplace adds warmth and an inviting ambiance to the room.

This modern, zen-inspired Chalet beautifully blends the tranquility of traditional Japanese living with contemporary luxury.
